MARINE RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND AQUARIUM

THESIS PROPOSAL
MARINE RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND
ORGANIZATION
INTRODUCTION
 The marine research institute is an organization dedicated to futhering the knowledge of the ocean of
our world and the organisms that inhabit them.
 It is in these labs that the knowledge of the oceans is analyzed and the new findings are discovered.
 Aquariums are aimed to be used as recreational and entertainment centres.
 Places like aquarium, museums and can attract visitors attention . For an example some of the
aquariums such as Monterey aquarium have low depth tank, filled with the variety of fish that can
be felt and seen while people passing the tank.
 Aquariums will have research centres that helps staffs biology and fish behaviour.
AIMS
 Create awareness among community people regarding biodiversity and environment.
 All the activities of the organization will be undertaken for biodiversity conservation, research and
welfare of the local.
 The organization will take proper initiative to remove the plastic pollutants from the costal areas
through the coastal cleanup programs.
 It would be a safe bet to say that public aquariums not only educate the public and plant seeds of
interest within them but they are also capable of generating revenue.
 Although the aim of conservation must be to protect and restore habitats in the wild, thereby saving
fish communities and individual species, captive conservation activities can provide important back-
up to this objective.
OBJECTIVES
 To establish education and research centers along the coastal areas to educate and train
people regarding the marine life and importance of biodiversity in nature.
 The main goal of the project is to further the knowledge of the oceans by providing the
research facilities and equipments that are lacking in that area.
 Organization will conduct in depth scientific research initiative to enhance measure to save
the critically endangered species with the help of international scientist.
 One reason aquariums aid in conservation is because they provide a place for people to see
what the marine world has to offer.
 However, there is something different about actually seeing something in real life. Knowing
that what you are seeing behind the glass is really there, really alive.

SCOPE
 This branch of climatology is concerned with the scope of the oceanographical knowledge
to practical problems of the oceans.
 The main purpose is to find out the ways and means to make use of our knowledge for the
betterment of human life and life in the oceans.
 Applied oceanography can be of great help for many problems related to coastal industries,
shore communities (settlements), military and naval establishments, ports and harbours, and
other ocean problems.
 Increasingly, people are turning to the oceans for their food supply either by direct
consumption or indirectly by harvesting fish that is then processed for livestock feed.
